PROVO, UTAH (June 30, 2011) – SirsiDynix, the world’s leading provider of library automation solutions, today announced the release of the SirsiDynix Enterprise® 4.1 search and discovery solution. With the 4.1 release of Enterprise, libraries will benefit from a slew of user experience-enhancements including collapsible menus for easy visual navigation, drag-and-drop account management, and the ability to refine search results with great precision with “include” and “exclude” facet options.

“We have promised the industry’s best user experience to our libraries and SirsiDynix Enterprise 4.1 is a dramatic step in delivering on this commitment,” said SirsiDynix Chief Executive Officer Matt Hawkins. “Enterprise 4.1 gives libraries the intuitive, simple search experience users have come to expect from the Web, but with the robust content delivery and refinement capabilities that characterize a library.”

Simplified interaction with the hit list include the ability to select multiple items at once for placing holds, adding to a “favorites” list or emailing right from the results page. Enhanced social media integration further socializes the catalog with Facebook, ChiliFresh, Google Books™, LibraryThing, Twitter and more.

High accuracy search results with significant indexing enhancements and the ability to narrow search results by including or even excluding specific facets. Users can refine search by author, subject, publication date or availability, to name a few.
